Ensemble 360: The Lark Ascending
Holst: Phantasy String Quartet Britten: Three Divertimenti for String Quartet
Howells: Phantasy Sting Quartet Purcell: Three-part Fantasias
Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending
The violin soars melodiously above the rest of the quartet in the gorgeous arrangement of Vaughan Williams’s most popular work The Lark Ascending, which concludes this concert of English music. Fantasies from the Baroque gems of Purcell’s Three-part Fantasias to Imogen Holst’s Phantasy String Quartet sit alongside this perennial favourite.
Ensemble 360 is renowned for its virtuoso performances, bold programming and engaging interpretations of music ranging from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players. Formed in 2005 by Music in the Round to take up residency at Sheffield’s Crucible Studio Theatre (now known as the Crucible’s Playhouse), Ensemble 360 quickly gained an enviable national reputation. The group takes its name from the intimacy and immediacy of the Crucible’s in-the-round space, which influenced their performance and ethos to give audiences a ‘360 degree experience’ that goes beyond the traditions of classical concerts.
